Something New and Diff

I am twelve hours into a 4-7 day fasting cleanse. This is the first time in my entire life I have fasted, except for about 1 1/2 days on a wilderness trip, oh, 25 years ago.

I have food issues. Mostly surrounding the problem of eating. I like this fasting thing cause I don't have to eat. I guess it's not a long-term solution, though.

Anyway, so far, it's been pretty good. I did force Val to cook dinner though. I'm not all that tempted yet, but I think it's a little much to expect me to cook too! Especially cause I am such a good cook!

For the first time in my life tonight, I will be experiencing a colonic. Sorry if that is TMI.

The plan for this is to do this fasting cleanse and then go directly into a 21-day non-fasting cleanse. My fine naturopath sister is administering these and is a great support.

My other fine sister recommended that I build in some nice things for myself during this time. Duh, that didn't really even occur to me. Sisters are so nice to have.

This time tomorrow, I expect to feel significantly cleaner inside.

I'll keep you posted.

So are you fasting for 4 days or 7 days? So no Jam Good Chicken for you????

Well, I'm on Day 4 right now. I'm not sure how much longer I will go. I think the 7 days would probably be good, but I am having trouble finding a great motivation to go all the way to 7 days. Yeah, I would detox even more, but that toxins thing doesn't usually stop me from eating lime chips and pizza, so just not sure. This is great though. I feel really good and I bet some of the stuff I normally eat makes me feel not really good.

So now, how are you doing today? Are you on fruit juice and water only? How did the David's do tonight? Tell ALL. Will we find out tomorrow who won?
